Diesel Bug Fuel Polisher Tank Cleaning Boat Maintenance

[@mikeh9882]

That's a very cost effective DIY set up, and very useful to watch - thanks. Personally, I'd always wear disposable gloves when handling diesel, plus any spillages are often hard to clean up (the diesel smell lingers). So I'd probably contain it all in a plastic container of sorts.

From my chef days I learnt that if you wash your hands with hot water then you end up baking the scent on to your hands, So I wash with cold soapy water which does the trick. Some jobs I wear gloves however I tend to poke holes in them pretty quickly so they tend to come off pretty quickly. Yeah can be a little messy and I am indeed a messy worker. :-)

very informative, you can definitely see the diesel has some water in suspension in the later stages of filtering

Firstly, I'd like to say thank you for taking the time to comment and like the video. It's great to see people's feedback so I can continue to try and make better videos. For later shots, I added some water to the samples to show on the camera a little more, which I then discarded the fuel

Great setup. Thanks for sharing. It's obviously making a difference.

Sure does. It's the second time I had cleaned the tank. I did it last year, I have been burning more diesel and refilling more often as I had used the boat and the heater a lot more. It was scarry stuff having the engine cut out on the way into a harbour! Thank you for taking the time to comment, and extra thank you for liking and subscribing. Let me know what you would like to see.

Clever cleaning setup. You said a "production" boat, what does that mean compared to say any other boat?

[@serenitycoastUK]

A production boat is a mainstream brand like Ford or Jeep. They are mass produced with boats. There are a few Jeanneau is my one. Beneteau is its parent company. You also have Baveria and a few others. They have a reputation of being more of an all-rounder marine hopper. But people travel all over the world with them. Just like people row across the Atlantic.
